There's still plenty of wax left, it really depends on what exactly the car wash is using, and which wash you pick. I pick the most basic one just to get the dirt off, as well as the under carriage wash to clean off any salt that might have gotten under there. I do not go for the "clear coat" or "protectant" premium washes, as those will definitely strip the wax.
